For concerning the ministering to the saints, it is unnecessary for me to write to you:
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 9:1 Go To 2 Corinthians 9
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
For as touching the ministering to the saints. At the end of the last chapter, Paul had commended to them Titus and his companions, but not their errand of collecting alms; for, as he says, it was superfluous for him to write about this, since they were of their own accord ready for it (Anselm). It is a politic device on the part of those that ask for alms to praise the liberality of the givers. Public beggars in the streets and churches are experts at this.
